The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review
by Ryan Smith on May 31, 2015 6:00 PM ESTTotal War: Attila
The second strategy game in our benchmark suite, Total War: Attila is the latest game in the Total War franchise. Total War games have traditionally been a mix of CPU and GPU bottlenecks, so it takes a good system on both ends of the equation to do well here. In this case the game comes with a built-in benchmark that plays out over a large area with a fortress in the middle, making it a good GPU stress test.
Switching out to another strategy game, even given Attila’s significant GPU requirements at higher settings, GTX 980 Ti still doesn’t falter. It trails GTX Titan X by just 2% at all settings.
That said, on an absolute basis even GTX Titan X couldn't get past 30fps here at 4K with max quality settings, so the GTX 980 Ti is going to fare no better.. To get single card performance above 30fps we have to drop a notch to the “Quality” setting, which gets the GTX 980 Ti up to 44.2fps. In any case, at these settings the GTX 980 Ti makes easy work of the single-GPU competition, beating the GTX 980 once again by 28%+.

He was highlighting incorrect grammar, not a typo. Btw, that should have been "it's", not "its", for the same reason. ;D My old English teacher would have used bullets for such errors if such as allowed...mapesdhs - Wednesday, June 3, 2015 - link
...and of course my own typo of 'as' instead of 'was' once again shows how annoying it is that in 2015 we still can't edit our posts on AT. :\FlushedBubblyJock - Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - link

LOL you are so retarded. You try being a bitch and correcting others and at the end you fall into your own pit.Pathetic, lol keep it up.Gothmoth - Monday, June 1, 2015 - link
Toll, du beherrscht deine Mutterprache.. welch gewaltige Geistesleistung...... Amis.....Gothmoth - Monday, June 1, 2015 - link
2015 and on Anandtech we are still unable to edit comments.... here is the missing "s",freedom4556 - Friday, June 12, 2015 - link
...and you typo in yours? Or so Google translate suggests.shaolin95 - Friday, October 23, 2015 - link
Yes but the 980ti is still untouchable basically so 28nm or not...ComputerGuy2006...show me something better ;)Flunk - Sunday, May 31, 2015 - link
lower nm = more transistors in the same space = more performance, and possibly reductions in heat and power usage. There is only so much they can do on the 28nm node, which is why the next generation will likely utterly massacre the current one. 4K will be feasible at a reasonable price point.Refuge - Monday, June 1, 2015 - link
Depending on yields, lets not get too excited yet.I'll be excited when I get the email from Amazon saying my GTX1000TI is going to be here in two days and says I only spent $500 after rebate. :)
